Check in at our central Madrid office 15 minutes before your tour departs. Climb aboard one of our air-conditioned buses and head to Toledo with a local guide. Don't forget to bring your camera or smartphone!
Relax and enjoy the scenery on the way to the city. Follow your local guide on a walking tour of the historic city of Toledo, a World Heritage site since 1986. Once the capital of Spain, it is a spectacular blend of Arab, Jewish, and Christian cultures. Learn about its fantastic heritage and discover how the coexistence of cultures over the centuries has influenced its current architectural style.
Stroll through the courtyard cloisters and the royal coat of arms at the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes. Admire the building, commissioned by Queen Elizabeth of Castile to become a royal mausoleum, the most important building constructed by Catholic monarchs. After the visit, we'll walk to the Synagogue of Santa Maria la Blanca. Originally built as a synagogue, it was expropriated and became a church only 211 years after opening its doors. Today, it's a fantastic Mudéjar-style museum that you'll visit.
Admire El Greco's world-famous painting, The Burial of the Count of Orgaz, in the Church of Santo Tomé. Did you know that Greco himself lived in this wonderful city?
